Dentures · Encanto, San Diego
Whether you are replacing several missing teeth or a full arch, the right denture should let you eat, talk, and smile with confidence — not something you tolerate. We make full and partial dentures for Encanto families, fit them carefully, and adjust until they feel right.
We are a short drive from Encanto, just up Euclid Ave to University Ave in City Heights. We accept Denti-Cal and most PPO plans, publish straightforward fees for cash-pay patients, and tell you the full cost before any work begins.
From Encanto, head north on Euclid Ave to University Ave and turn — we are on University between 52nd and 54th Streets in City Heights, next to Vien Dong Supermarket. It is a straightforward drive of about 8 minutes, with on-site parking. MTS Route 7 also runs along University Ave.
A full denture replaces all the teeth in an arch (upper, lower, or both) and rests on the gums. A partial denture fills in where some natural teeth remain, clasping onto them to fill the gaps and keep the remaining teeth from drifting. Which one is right depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of any remaining teeth, and your goals for comfort and appearance.
Modern dentures look far more natural than the dentures many people remember from a parent or grandparent. The teeth and gum-colored base are matched to your mouth, and a careful fitting process reduces the slipping and sore spots that give dentures a bad reputation. Still, every new denture takes some getting used to, and small adjustments in the first weeks are normal and expected.
If you want more stability than a traditional denture provides, implant-supported dentures (sometimes called overdentures) anchor onto dental implants so they snap firmly into place. It is a bigger investment, but it solves the looseness that frustrates many full-denture wearers. We will walk you through whether it makes sense for you.
We examine your gums and any remaining teeth, take X-rays, and discuss what you want from your new teeth. If extractions are needed first, we plan that, then take precise impressions of your mouth.
Before the final denture is made, we test the fit, bite, and appearance with a try-in. This is when we match the tooth color and shape to look natural for your face — and the stage where your input matters most.
We seat the finished denture, check the bite, and adjust any pressure points. We show you how to insert, remove, and clean it, and what to expect during the adjustment period.
New dentures almost always need a few small tweaks as your mouth settles in. Those follow-up adjustments are part of the process — come back as needed so we can get them comfortable.

A few honest expectations so you know what the first weeks and the long term look like.
If a denture becomes loose or causes a sore that does not heal, do not push through it — a quick adjustment usually fixes the problem.
